In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Synthesis of pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazines from 2-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dicyanopyrazine with substituted pyridines, published in 1986-12-31, which mentions a compound: 56413-95-7, Name is 5,6-Dichloropyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile, Molecular C6Cl2N4, Reference of 5,6-Dichloropyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile.
Novel synthesis of the title compounds by the cyclization between 2-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dicyanopyrazine (I) and various substituted pyridines is described. E.g., heating I with pyridines II (R = Me, Pr, Me3C, PhCH2, CONH2, CO2Me, Ph, 2-pyridyl) in DMF at 90° for 48 h gave 14-72% pyridoimidazopyrazines III.
Here is just a brief introduction to this compound(56413-95-7)Reference of 5,6-Dichloropyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile, more information about the compound(5,6-Dichloropyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile) is in the article, you can click the link below.
